Bweep out all refuse graln from cracks and crevices in the floor and sides of the bin. Then epray with kerosene emulsion using one part of the stock solution to about five parte of water, advises the extension ento- mologist at The Pennsylvania State College, Be sure to drive the spray material into the cracks and crevices where the insects or their eggs might be hidden, Allow the bin to dry for a week or longer before placing the grain in it, Kerosene emulsion is prepared as fol, lows : Bbave up and dissolve one-half pound of common laundry soap in one gallon of boiling water. Remove thie water from the fire and add two gal- lons of kerosene oil. Mix the whole thoroughly either with 8 hand pump or by pouring from pail several times, When properly made the mixture is a creamy mass from which the kerosene will pot separate. This is the stock solution, which should be diluted as previously directed, i — Tribute of Respect, Whereas, Almighty God, in His in- finite wisdom, has called a faithfu member of our school, John F, Miller, from his earthly toil to his Heavenly reward, * nd Wherese, we, the M.

Men First Wrote and Require gy Ageq For Its Completion No one really knows ‘all about where the alphabet came from, because it grew very slowly, like children and every other good thing in the world. But we know quite well that mo In- genlous man sat down and made the alphabet, and we know quite well, too, that the alphabet began as pictures. Just as a child reads or takes things in by pictures long before It can read letters, so men used to read and write by pictures; and then these pictures were gradually made simpler and sim- pler until at last they could be used In every and any way, as our letters can, We know that the letter O was at first the picture of an eye, and that gradually men made the picture plain- er, until at last they drew an QO. The letter I was once a picture of a house; and very likely a capital A may have been at first the picture of a pyramid, Ages and ages ago in Egypt men used both kinds of writing, says the Star. The priests used which was the ple- called the sacred writing, In which the pictures were turned into letters. Not very many years ago men tried in vain to read the old sacred picture writing of the Egyptians, but they could not. Then they found the wonderful Rosetta stone, and this had written upon it the same thing three times—once In the pictures and once In the letters, ind also once in other letters, and so men got the key to picture writing, and now it can be read easily.

The part of Father Christmas may be easily overacted, as a certain town councilor would be the first to admit, He had been asked to take part in the annual treat to the old folk at the lo- cal workhouse, Made up as the an- cient gentleman beloved of the chil dren, he went, and for a time his pranks and antics delighted the com- pany. Then a scrap of conversation he chanced to overhear scarcely added to the worthy councilor’s enjoyment, “Ain't ‘e enjoyin' of hisself?' re- marked one aged inmate to another. “Wot a treat it is for the likes o' hel ut why can't they let all the loonies out on a night like this?" “Well,” came the reply, “mebbe they ain't all so harmless as this'n.” Be Quiet. “Study to be quipt"—-that is, study to dismiss all bustle and worry out of your inward life. Study also to “do your own business,” and do not try to do the business of other people. A great deal of “creaturely activity” is extended in trying to do other people’s business, It is often hard to “sit still” when we see our friends, according to our ideas, mismannging matters, and making such dreadful blunders. But the divine order, as it Is also the best human order as well, is for each one of us to do our own business, and to re frain from meddling with the busi: dese of anyone else~Exchange, «HEN A COLD IS NOT A COLD If It Lasts Longer Than Three Days It Is a “Nasal Sinusitis,” De. clares Physician. “A cold In the head which lasts longer than three days 1s no longer such, but a nasal sinusitis,” sald Dr. John J. Hurley of Boston In an address reported in the Medical Record. Doctor Hurley was arguing that “grippe” and Influenza were nothing but an inflammation of the sinuses of the face, that labyrinth of the passages in the bones of the nose, cheeks and forehead which empty into the nose or pharynx. After comparing all the classle symptoms of Influenza as de- scribed In the textbooks with those of sinusitis and polnting out thelr simi- larity if not identity, he enlled “influ- enza” and “grippe” the “alibis of ig- norance,” The flamiliar Influenza bacillus dis- covered by Pfeiffer 1s found in many but by no means all cases of so-called grippe.

May Be Oldest Book Extant. In an ancient Samaritan synagogue at Shechem a double roll of parchment is guarded jealously and Is realously preserved. It was to Shechem that ham came In his first visit to naan. Near Shechem Jacob sank his famous well, and Israelites heard here for the last time the volce of Joshua. Shechem was the first residence of the Israel and was a city of the kings of Israel and was a city of refuge. Here at Jacob's well Jesus met the woman of Samaria. Here the great Justin martyr was born. After the division of Israel Into two kingdoms Shechem became the religious center of the northern kingdom, and Jeroboam's self-appointed faith degenerated into the Bamaritan worship of our Lord's day, which Is perpetuated In the old synagogue which holds this scroll, This double roll of parchment, possibly the oldest in the world, contains the first five books of the Old Testament and may be as old as the days of Jeremiah, ~ Christian Herald. ws 8 11 wil Ia would ghort of wh Pharaohs pressed the still and early more returning n thao he 1 urning kings of Why Singers Break Down, Singing is an abnormal exercise of the lungs, to say nothing of the other organs involved. It over exercises the upper portion of the body, forcing ab- normal pressure In an upward direc. tion and tending to overheat the up- per portion of the body. Up to a cer- taln point, a healthful stimulation of the blood circulation is the happy re- sult; but beyond that point, the in- creasing motion imparted tends to fever, and a reaction the next day shows that a cooling down period has been forced upon the singer's atten- tion. ~Physical Culture, TAS AAAS Morning Glories.

He never managed to develop out of that stage, to contact with truly nourishing things. On the contrary, he became completely uprooted, came leaves and the clouds of perfume.
